Felicitations! Bon travail! Bravo! to you, dear Slim….an inspiration to your loyal followers each of the 400 times and continuing.
…..et Lauderee macarons sont les meilleurs!… I once tried to make them after returning from a Paris trip suffering from withdrawal…… 14 steps to the recipe! A disaster and not close…….so glad they are now in NYC!
Amuse-toi en France!

Hi Slim, I love your blog. But this “follow Slim Paley” gigantic grey box to the right interferes with the pleasure. I do follow you. I really dislike this thing. Can’t we get rid of it if we already follow you? Bleh, sometimes it’s there, sometimes, just “follow” is there. Thanks in advance.

The perfect place to celebrate 400 posts! I am celebrating now being a reader for one year, after spending an epic several days last summer at our beach house reading ALL of your posts consecutively!! (Remember that?!). My children and husband were so glad i finally got caught up so they could be properly fed and cared for again. I am raising a gin and tonic to you, and have gobbled several Kettle chips in your honor. Many fond wishes!

well, it was Bombay Sapphire, but i hope we can still be friends. not sure about ‘grilled steak’ SP….sounds a little suspect! Kettle ‘Salt and pepper’ all the way!! Obv none of this compares to the fabulousness of Paris, but i am just trying to make do. one chip at a time.

I would go back to Paris just for Angelinas, well maybe Laudree’s too….I’m envious, but August? Is is too hot now? Are most on “vacation” mode and not open? These are the things I have heard about Paris in August….

Hot, but not too hot Kathy. And yes, many places and favourite restaurants closed in August-unfortunately it was the only time that worked for us-once again, these ‘kids’ with their own lives… whatupwiththat?!

Bon Anniversaire, 400 posts!! Felicitations!! Sorry we won’t be in Paris at the same time. I’m going in October for 10 days, renting an apartment on the Iles St. Louis. Enjoy your trip and show us Paris!!

Congratulations! Amazing how many posts you have turned out! You really deserve to celebrate and in the best place possible. Wishing you a wonderful trip. Thanks for sharing all your journeys. I always love your photos and observations.

Bravissima! 400 is nothing to sneeze at and you are so obviously doing so in style, as you always do. I love thinking that for once you are just a TGV ride north of me here in Provence and will be sending thoughts for good weather while you roam the City of Light. And if it does rain you can always pop in to float amongst Monet’s Nympheas in the often forgotten L’Orangerie…
Thank you for all that you do SP!

be still my heart! Angelina’s….oh my goodness…love love love their presentation of “serving” liquid chocolate divine-ness….and I agree, never get tired of the beautiful packaging of goodies…so pretty to window shop in Paris…congrats on your accomplishment…am so glad I stumbled upon your blog…relish your life and your talent, but mostly for sharing….

S.P. – Ditto congrats on 400! Ditto I read back through all of your posts when I first found you too!
Ditto Fabu photo of you in the garden! Ditto bring back Angelina hot choc to go! Ditto your “Slimtorialist” entry. The women, their fashion and the stone architecture – truly WOW.

Not yet having made my trip (or trips) to Paris, I too would take summer if that is what fit in the family schedule – we Moms are so flexible.
